#MICAL THOMAS PRO#
He’s earned three consecutive Pro Bowl selections (2017-19) and won the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year award in 2019, the best season of his career. Thomas has spent his entire seven-year career with the Saints, who drafted him in the second round in 2016.

Thomas’ return started becoming clearer in the past week once quarterback Derek Carr signed on with the Saints.

But at the age of 30 and with so many injuries, it’s fair to wonder how effective Thomas will be in 2023. The toe injury derailed him, adding to a third consecutive season marred by ailments. Thomas certainly looked the part for his limited action during the 2022 season when he caught 16 passes for 171 yards and three TDs in only three games. I have no problem pointing out that I clearly thought Thomas was a goner once he butted heads with former coach Sean Payton and the Saints’ medical staff during the 2021 offseason.
